It Was Just A Dream...

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The rest of the day passed by very fast. I had Mason in literally all my classes and he was kinder then he was this morning in homeroom. Although he did have random girls from all over the place pop up and try to seduce him. I wasn’t happy when one of the girls told him that he could do way better than a little nerdy girl like me. I was ready to punch her in the face. But I did refrain myself from doing so.

After school had ended, I went to the car just like Adrian said and we went home to pick up his parents to go shopping. It was very fun and I got to know Mrs. Huntington or Katlin or Mom—as she wants me to call her—better than before. I brought a couple of new bras and underwear, a whole lot of shirts and pants and a few jackets and 7-yes 7-pairs of shoes! Katlin is crazy! I only wanted a few things, thank God we took their truck and not Adrian’s sports car! We would have never been able to fit anything in it.

Adrian has made sure that I stay away from Mason. I just don’t understand why they don’t like each other! Adrian made sure that I sat with one of his friends and ate lunch with them. I wasn’t even allowed to play gym on the same team as Mason! It’s hard not to because there is only a certain amount of people in the class.

The next two weeks went by really fast. I had made a new friend, her name is Anne. She told me how we are going to be best friends and how she loves my hair color because it’s so pretty and hers isn’t. She rambled on for a whole 45 minutes about my hair color. This girl is crazy but she’s nice. It turns out that she is actually Mason’s step sister but they don’t call each other step sibling because they get along like twins would. It’s really funny.

Mason still hasn’t changed. From what I’ve heard he still plays with his little toys that proudly strut the hall in their children sized clothing and sky high heels. It turns out that if you didn’t have the new 12 inch heel then you weren’t in the ‘current’ style. I laughed in the face of the girl who told me this. Yet that girl still expects me to come in wearing those things on my feet. Weirdo…!

The people around here have gotten stranger. It first started with Adrian and Mason when they were yelling at each other they started to shake and growl at each other. Everyone does it now. I get pulled away from the people who fight like that because… Well I really don’t know. I asked Mason about it and he changed topics. Anyone I asked would change the subject! I’ve asked the Huntington’s and they won’t answer me, I’ve asked all of Adrian’s friends and they just started raking random jokes about whatever thing they could think about. It was starting to annoy me! I hate being ignored or kept out of something. I know something is up I just have to find out what it is.

Today is Saturday and I am going for a jog down the forest pathways. I just finished tying up my shoe laces when someone knocked on my bedroom door. I walked to it and opened it and saw it was Adrian.

“Hey, where are you going?” he asked.

“For a j-jog. I’m bored and it s-seemed fun,” I replied.

“Okay, have fun and be careful,” he said while walking away.

            Okay weirdest conversation ever! Why did he knock on my door anyway? Ugh, I better go on this jog before it gets too late.

            I grabbed my music player and headphones, then headed outside. I walked around the back to grab a water bottle from the shed and then started to walk towards the forest paths. I set up my music player to play my favorite band—Fall Out Boy. I hummed along to the song and started to jog.

            I love jogging it helps me think about everything that has happened these past few weeks.

            So, before I went running, I decided to do some research on people who shake when their angry. It could have been because of an adrenaline rush or because—now this I laughed at because this isn’t possible, or at least I hope not—they could be un-human.

I stopped for a minute to catch my breath and drink some water. I looked at my phone and saw it was only 1:45. I still have some time to run forward some more before I have to turn back.

I texted Adrian; Hey, I’m not going to be home until around 5 sooo don’t wait for me to eat dinner.

I instantly got a reply from him; Okay, be careful though okay?

Alright I will, just leave me some dinner please!

Maybe… I’ll have to try not to eat it all… Lol… Don’t worry we’ll save you some.

Then, I put my phone away and started to jog again. I had one of my favorite songs come on, Without You by Usher and David Guetta. I started to run to the beat.

Okay back to the thing on the werewolves. I mean after I read it I freaked out because it honestly could be true. There were about 20-something wolf attacks on missing people. It makes sense—doesn’t it? I mean I really don’t think that a serial killer would honestly eat them and leave their bodies in the certain parts of different forests…Well unless they really are sick in the head…. That also makes sense because a lot of them are deranged but why would him place them at the border line of the two forests? That’s what’s strange.

I mean wolves are very territorial, so they could be real…. If they are real that does that mean that everyone in my school is a werewolf? Ugh! Anastasia! I seriously need to get these thoughts out of my head. 

I started to see the forest fade and gravestones started coming into view. I slowed my running down until I was walking. I looked at the grave stones and could see that some were just freshly visited. I walked over to one that had a photograph and flowers that look like they were put there this morning.

The grave was a marble black with white letters en carved into it.  It read;

‘Alexander Ryan Cuccrullo II     8/24/1978-4/9/2006   Great Alpha, Husband and Father. Life was cut short for you but you shall always be remembered.’

 Wow… Alpha, I read about that this morning! It means a leader of a pack. I looked over at the next gravestone to see that it was also black marble. This one read;

‘Christina Abigale Anne-Cuccrullo    3/24/1981-4/9/2006   Great Luna, Wife and Mother. You let life to its fullest but deserved more time, you shall not be forgotten.’

Luna… that’s the other half of the Alpha. A soul mate I think it’s called.  Then there was a very small gravestone that was also black marble but had red letters on it. It said

‘Anastasia Belle Cuccrullo   12/31/1998-7/23/2007   Great Sister and Daughter. You were very young to leave this Earth, may the Moon Goddess take you under her wing in her Heaven.’

That—that name, it mine…! How that isn’t possible…!?

I looked at the photographs and saw me as a young girl with my parents and my siblings. I caressed the photo until I felt something drip off my cheeks. I noticed I was crying. I wiped my cheeks and heard someone clear their throat behind me. I turned and was shocked at who I saw….
